Ice is in at the Crookston Sports Center and that means hockey and figure skating season is coming. The Crookston Figure Skating Club will have a meeting for returning skaters and also those interested in figure skating at the Event Rink at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 29. “We invite all of our members as well as anyone interested in figure skating,” says Crookston Figure Skating Club Director Katie Morgan. “We are just going to meet and go over our upcoming events.”
Some of the events are
-Bring a friend skating
-Exhibition Skate
-The Ice Show (March)
During the meeting you will be able to meet the coaches that will be with the skaters this year, the Figure Skating Club Board and Morgan, and ask questions, voice concerns, and start the registration process. Morgan says there will also be a chance to meet with an Edea Skate Representative. “He’s going to do a short informational meeting regarding skates and boots and the importance of keeping up on sharpening your blades,” said Morgan. “The Edea Skate rep will have his sharpening machine with him and will sharpen blades for $15 if anyone wishes to utilize that opportunity.”
The ice is ready on the event rink, and open skating will be available during the meeting. “If the kiddos don’t want to listen to the adults talk, they can go skate around for a little while,” said Morgan. “We are also looking for donations of any skates. A lot of times we have a lot of kids that want to be in figure skating, but they don’t have skates, can’t get skates, or even bring a friend skating, it will be very important for them to have the opportunity to use skates.”
If you have skates to donate, please bring them during the meeting this Sunday, September 29, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 pm at the Crookston Sports Center.
